He Saved Victoria IS Life
London World.

Incorrect statements have been palb-
lished respecting the naval officers who
saved the queens life In 1884. Here are
the real facts. His name was Joseph
Saunders, and he was master of the CATER
Emerald. The mishap took place az the
craft was entering Plymouth harbor with
the late duchess of Kent and Princess
Victoria on board. The princess was ask
ing Saunders to look after favoribe dog.
When steamer collided with the cutter,
! earring away her rigging and taking the
mast. Enchanting, For Gods sake
come forward, Or you VIII both be killed!"
Saunders promptly hurried the distin-
guished party out of danger, and would
not allow them 20 be transferred to a
boat until the mast was made safe. The
duchess and princess were duly grateful
and on Saunders taking the dog of his
future queen to the hotel at which she
stayed at Plymouth she inquired the
| cause of the accident. His reply was
that. when admirals and other superior
officers were on board they took charge
of the vessel out of his hands: to which
| the princess retorted, with charitable
| common sense, that if there were not SO
many commanding officers disasters
would not occur. She also added that
when she was on board he was never to
give up the charge of his vessel. The
| duchess of Kent presented Saunders with
| prayer book and bible. He got no
| special pension for saving the life of her
present majesty, and has long been dead.
| Two grandsons are in the navy.

DIR Routh's Eccentricisy.

There are men who belong, by thei
feelings and modes of thought, 30 thu
seventeenth century, but their bodily ex
istence is passed in the nineteenth. Sucf
a man was DR.. Routh, who died in 1855
in his hundredth year. In his case it il
not dif5cult to excuse lack of apprehen
sion of modern Improvements" He
had been president of Magdalene ccllege
sixty three years when he died.
His politics we're those of Straffora, his
religion that of Lauc, the topic of his
conversation the Young Pretender and
the Jacobits faction, and he wore full
bottomed wig to the day of his death.
The old tor did not quarrel with the
nineteenth century, as Mr.. Ruskin does,
with his contem ptuous condemnation OF
railroads, bicycles, ana modern modes
of locOmotiOn generally. DR.. Routh
simply renowned the century and all its
works.
At long intervals he visited London,
but he always travelled by coach called
the Star. The fare had been 25 shillings,
which competition had reduced to a
guinea.
Unaware of the reduction, DR.. Routh,
on,his next visit to the metropolis, was
assisted to alight by the coachman, to
whom he handed 25 shillings for his fare
aud an additional half a crown as ''tip''
for the respectful jehu.
''The fare Mr.. President, is reduced to
a guinea," said the coachman. The
venerable man reflected. and then replied:
Sir, Il have always paid 25 shillings,
and always shall"
Jehu bowed subIlissively and pocketed
the extra Ashillings.
undergraduate having appeared at
the college three days after the begin
ming of the term-he had spent the time
in LondOn-the tutors suggested that
he should be rusticated.
"Three days late, is he?" answered the
venerable president in his childish treble.
"Well, sirs, there has been heavy fall of
snow, and as the gentleman resides in
Norfolk, ne doubt the coaches have been
detained on the road"
"But," urged the tutors, che could have
reached Oxford in few hours by rail
way"
Railway" exclaimed the president,
incredulously. ''Ah, well, don't know
anything about that"
The old man, though he daily heard
the whistle of the locomotives running on
the Great Western railway, ignored the
existence Of the road.
He was a. tory of the class from whom
the genius Of Disraeli rescued the great
conservative party and gave it new
lease of life.
